Kemi Badenoch wants Britain to be proud and richer again
Kemi Badenoch believes Britons were prouder, richer, and happier in the 1980s, a feeling she aims to restore. She argues that Andy Burnham's new Labour government is 99% wrong on its economic analysis, particularly regarding wealth creation and taxation. Badenoch, the Conservative leader, plans to reverse Labour's policies, including Net Zero targets and certain taxes, to get Britain back on a growth path.
